Directions
-
(The can of chili and enchilada sauce is for "lazy way" sauce, if you want the non-lazy way sauce, ask somebody else, I always
-
make lazy way.)
-
Chop or grate your onion and jalapeno pretty fine and
-
mix with the cheese, which you have shredded.
-
I usually use about a pound of cheese for a lasagne pan full of enchiladas, and about 16-24 tortillas.
-
Do NOT wipe your eyes at this point.
-
Trust me.
-
Wash your hands if your eyes are itchy.
-
Now set up an assembly line.
-
fry pan, paper towels for draining
-
grease , the cheese/onion/pepper mixture and your casserole dish.
-
Don't ask me why you have to do it this way, but if you don't, this is a really major pain.
-
Put some grease in your fry pan.
-
You're supposed to use lard, but I just can't do it (although that's why enchiladas taste better when you get them out, I think), I use Mazolla or something like that.
-
Get the grease pretty hot but not smoking.
-
For each enchilada do this: 1.
-
Put one tortilla in the hot
-
grease and
-
let it bubble a little bit, enough to get it really really hot, but not enough to get it crispy.
-
Do both sides.
-
Pull it out and pitch it on your paper towels.
-
Quickly, before it gets hard, put a handful of the cheese/onion/pepper
-
mix (which is really mostly cheese) and
-
roll it up.
-
Put your rolled up enchilada in your casserole dish and start with the next one.
-
When you run out of tortillas, cheese, or space in the casserole dish, turn off the grease.
-
You're done with that part.
-
Now dump the can of chili and the can of enchilada sauce in a pan (NOT the
-
fry pan) and
-
heat it through.
-
Dump that on top of all your enchiladas in your casserole pan.
-
Spread whatever cheese you have left on top.
-
Cover it with foil.
-
If you don't want to eat real soon, put it in the refrigerator, these seem to taste better if they sit for a couple of hours, but you can
-
bake 'em now if you want.
-
About 30 minutes before you want to eat (about now?) put the dish in the oven and heat.
-
Don't let the bottom get too hot, or you'll have tough enchiladas.
-
Say, about 20 minutes at 350?
-
Something like that
